Delicious Rare Midwestern Soda Found in NH

I pride myself upon being the official beverage distributor here at The Bob Fuller Media Center as we offer a wonderful assortment of the finest Coca-Cola products. However, I have a confession to make.

I can only go so long until I NEED to have a Mountain Dew Code Red.

Up until my last trip to Claremont, NH, I could have sworn that the soda that is described as 'Mountain Dew with a rush of cherry flavor' was an original creation without any equal.

I WAS WRONG.

'Dang That's Good Italian Cherry Soda' is distributed from a company in Milwaukee called 'Imperial Flavors Beverage Company'.

Started in 1964, this flavor predates Code Red by 37 years and dare I say, is way better than Code Red, with an improved quality of crispness and more intense taste.

In fairness, if Mountain Dew put its current formula in a glass bottle with real sugar, I'm sure the playing field would be leveled tremendously. But 'Dang, That's Good' is very aptly named.

You can find it on the shelves above at Runnings (Your Home, Farm and Outdoor Store) at 403 Washington Street in Claremont, NH.
